The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has in many
respects underestimated the severity of global warming and the speed at
which it strikes. "From 2000 to 2007, greenhouse gas emissions increased
far more rapidly than we expected, primarily because developing
countries, like China and India, saw a huge surge in electric power
generation, almost all of it based on coal", admitted IPCC member Chris
Field, of Stanford University and the Carnegie Institution for Science.

Hands Across the Sand is a movement made
of people of all walks of life and crosses political affiliations. This
movement is not about politics; it is about protection of our coastal
economies, oceans, marine wildlife, and fishing industry. Let us share
our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting all of the above
from the devastating effects of oil drilling.

 GSMV is nothing more and nothing less
than a decentralized conservation awareness group identified by magnets
and stickers. This tight visual medium contains a comprehensive
political, environmental, social, and economic message. We hope that
this is part of a larger and more diverse trend of visually-based
microactivism.
Learn more and order magnets and stickers at the Drive Easy website.

To save lives, government should enact new interstate laws, researchers say
By Steven Reinberg
US News & World Report HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY,
July 16 (HealthDay News) -- Deaths and injuries on America's
interstates have increased since the repeal of the federal
55-mile-per-hour speed limit in 1995, a new study finds, and some
believe it's time to slow down again.
Researchers tracking fatalities attributed 12,545 deaths and 36,582
injuries in fatal crashes to higher speed limits implemented during the
1995-2005 study period.
"Our study clearly shows that policy can
directly result in more deaths as well as reducing deaths on our
country's roads," said lead researcher Lee S. Friedman of the division
of environmental and occupational health sciences in the School of
Public Health at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

 Checking in again after a weekend trip to Houston, TX.
12.99 gallons got me 590.5 miles in my 2009 Civic LX (automatic), for an average of 45.458 mpg.
About 550 miles of this was highway driving, at speeds of 50-60 mph (depending on weather, road conditions, traffic flow, etc), with about 40 miles of city driving thrown in (I get about the advertised 25 mpg in the city).
I have my iDrive55 window cling posted on my rear driver's side window for passing cars to see.
